Ep 56 - Can We Really Trust Anything in the Age of AI?

Josh and Sean start this episode with the small but necessary stuff (life admin, weather chat, energy companies, and travel memories) before spiralling into a full-on rant fest about AI disinformation and how technology is changing the way we think, trust, and create.Expect musings on whether AI can ever be ethical, why it might be dangerous in mental health contexts, and the problematic reality of using AI in creative industries. They also explore the erosion of trust in media, the difficulty of separating fact from fiction, and the cultural connections that keep us connected.It’s a journey from the everyday to the existential with a few laughs, a bit of nostalgia, and plenty to think about along the way.Enjoy the ride!#disinformation #AI #artificialintelligence #podcast #JohnOliver #ChubbyTheCat #AIcat #QueerPodcast #LGBTQ #PopCulture #QueerVoices #tellmewhereimgoingwrong #queerpodcast #lgbtq Episode LinksArticle which discusses possible AI psychologist:https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/apr/19/questions-raised-over-barbara-santini-expert-much-quoted-in-uk-pressAbout the HostsJosh Leuner is a London-based singer and plant-geek.
